Duk Mandoo Gook is a soup with sliced rice cakes and dumplings and served during Korean New Year. Lunar New Year in 2016, is Monday February 8th. Traditionally families gather on New Year’s day to make dumplings; several of the recipes posted here would be appropriate for this soup or you can use frozen dumplings. The soup broth is commonly made using beef bones, but here I present a vegan version of the soup.
